Ticket To Ride Winner Chooses an OffLeaseOnly BMW

Ticket To Ride Winner Chooses an OffLeaseOnly BMW

Cristal Sisneros knew the kind of OffLeaseOnly BMW she wanted when she arrived at the Off Lease Only dealership in Orlando.

“The OffLeaseOnly BMW had to be red and it had to be fast,” said Sisneros, a retired nurse.

If it was a convertible, well, sure that would be good too.

So it comes as no surprise that Sisneros, who won a $20,000 voucher for a new car as part of the Ticket to Ride campaign that benefitted central Florida’s A Gift For Teaching, chose a 2016 Red OffLeaseOnly BMW convertible.

“This OffLeaseOnly BMW is so beautiful,” Sisneros said. “It’s such a fun and comfortable car. It’s easy to drive and it’s fast.”

Packed with a 365-horsepower engine and enough torque to get it from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, Sisneros’ new car is seriously quick.

“In my next life, I want to be a race car driver,” she said. Having a new car to drive is great, Sisneros says, and knowing that she was benefitting a great cause at the same time makes it even better.

“I’ve always supported education,” she said. “I want to donate to things I know will be beneficial.”

A Gift for Teaching’s Back-to-School-Blast was a huge success this year!

Thanks to generous people like Sisneros, A Gift For Teaching raised over $180,000 during its Back To School Blast in April.

That will translate into about $1.8 million worth of school supplies for students in central Florida.

A sizable chunk of that money came from the Ticket to Ride campaign, made possible through the generosity of Off Lease Only, the country’s largest independent used car dealer by volume and the “Nation’s Used Car Destination.”

“We are grateful for the support from Off Lease Only and our entire community to be able to provide essential learning tools to help these students succeed,” said A Gift for Teaching Director of Development Marisa Worley. “There are currently more than 70 percent of students throughout central Florida that cannot afford lunch let alone school supplies.”

The “Ticket to Ride” portion of the event was a huge success raising!

Tickets were sold at $50 for one, $200 for five and $375 for 10.

Sisneros chose to donate $200 to A Gift For Teaching and get five chances to win the voucher, after a friend who is familiar with the nonprofit organization told her about the Ticket To Ride campaign.

She didn’t expect to have the numbers on one of her tickets drawn, in fact, didn’t believe it when she found out she did. “I’ve never won anything before,” said Sisneros, who never bought Ticket To Ride tickets before either.

She said she was surprised when she got a call from Worley telling her she won the voucher.

“I said, ‘Say that again,’” she said. “I was just overwhelmed, so astonished that this happened and so grateful that this happened.”

Sisneros said she is planning to keep her Volkswagen Beetle convertible but will be driving the OffLeaseOnly BMW quite a bit.

2018 Winner Stacia couldn’t be more thrilled with her 2018 Infiniti. She purchased a ticket for the last three years and 2018 was BEYOND excited to be announced winner LIVE at the Back-to-School-Blast!

“It’s about having something you can be proud of,” she said.

Last year’s winner, Stacia Wake, who bought her ticket at the Back to School Blast, has been supporting A Gift For Teaching for several years and had purchased tickets three years in a row.

“A Gift For Teaching is really close to my heart,” she said. “My mom was a teacher for 20 years.”

With her $20,000 voucher, Stacia purchased a 2018 Infiniti with just 15,000 miles on it.

“I sat in it and I said, ‘I love this car,’” she said. “It’s a luxury car with low miles.”
